1,200-plus missions for Yorkshire Air Ambulance in 20th year
The service relies on the generosity of the public and organisations to support its operations rather than being a government-funded organisation under the NHS. The fund-raising need is £4.4m a year.
Fund-raising activities for the charity have taken a hit this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and for a short time the strain on the health service was such that the Air Ambulance was without seconded paramedics and doctors needed to keep up its usual service. However, the helicopters were soon back in action and have reached more than 1,200 incidents so far this year from its two bases at the Nostell Priory Estate near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and at RAF Topcliffe, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
